I had an extremely messy divorce, a husband that was difficult at every turn and lots of companies and property. I had been elsewhere and had want of a better word been screwed over by the previous law firm. Then I found Leanne and Deb. I was a mess during the 4 years it took to finally get the matter settled. Leanne, Deb, Jen and team were supportive, professional and would often advise what to be concerned about and what would just be wasting time and money. I gained exactly what I originally offered the ex and paid about 150K less than the law firm my ex went with. I could see the other firm were milking him for fees, but where possible Deb saved me money. So in the end, I got what I wanted, the EX did not. Very professional team and highly recommended

Louis Horsley guided me throughout my divorce and financial separation over several months. He was always prompt, professional and very clear in his communication. All my questions were addressed and clearly explained throughout the process so that I could decide what was and wasnt worth pursuing. He was always accomodating scheduling our telephone meetings which was appreciated. It was an efficient process facilitated by his fast communication turnaround, despite the lack of agreement between parties. I'm relieved its completed!!

I recently worked with Sam Dzeladin‑Elez through my separation and divorce settlement, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. Sam was consistently approachable, understanding, and willing to listen to every concern I raised. He guided me through each stage of the process with clarity and patience. While legal matters are always a significant investment, Sam’s fees were clearly explained, transparent, and communicated openly throughout. I always felt informed and confident in the decisions being made. I highly recommend Sam to anyone needing reliable and compassionate legal representation.

Five stars! I highly recommend Pearson's Lawyers for anyone needing legal representation. Andrew McDonald has been absolutely excellent from day one. He looked after our matter with incredible expertise and experience, resolving everything in just one to two sittings. Andrew made a highly stressful process completely stress-free. He was helpful with drafting paperwork, providing court representation, and following up with the registry office. we have never experienced a single issue throughout the entire process. We couldn't expect anything better. Offering the best results at an affordable cost. Thank you, Andrew and the Pearson's team!

I had a really positive experience working with Venus. She was consistently prompt, efficient, and professional, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. What stood out most was her ability to provide practical, well-considered guidance. She demonstrated strong foresight and strategy, and worked very effectively with the other parties to keep things moving toward resolution. Venus also approached everything with a genuine customer-focused mindset. She was mindful of my time, effort, and cost, and was honest about what was and wasn’t worth pursuing - which I really appreciated. That level of transparency and care goes above and beyond. More broadly, I was very impressed with the firm. Their assessments were accurate, and the outcome aligned closely with what was anticipated, which speaks to their experience and capability. I’d confidently recommend Venus and Pearsons Lawyers to anyone needing family law support.

How do we create parenting arrangements?

Parenting arrangements or plans can be developed through negotiation, family dispute resolution, or by applying for a parenting order through the family law courts. Our experienced team provides tailored support to ensure arrangements reflect parental responsibility, the best interests of children, and your specific circumstances.

How is property settlement resolved?

Property settlement can be finalised via binding financial agreements, prenuptial agreements (made prior to the relationship breakdown), consent orders, or court orders. Our legal team helps clients navigate complex property settlement issues, value assets, assess liabilities and superannuation to achieve realistic outcomes for both parties.

What does shared parental responsibility mean?

Shared parental responsibility gives both parents equal rights and duties in making key decisions about their child’s welfare, education, healthcare and overall upbringing. Our team provides strong advocacy and practical advice to former de facto and married couples, same-sex couples, and individuals navigating parenting matters.

How can we reach a mutually agreeable resolution on family law matters?

Many clients resolve matters through mediation, negotiation, or consent orders. Our dedicated team provides practical advice and emotional support to help you make informed decisions while managing the emotional impact of family separation or divorce applications.

What does a divorce cost?

Divorce applications typically involve court fees, and any additional costs for legal advice and representation, depending on the complexity of the family matters. Our experienced team provides realistic advice on potential outcomes for parenting, child support and financial agreements, ensuring transparency and avoiding unexpected costs.

What is a consent order?

A consent order is a legally binding court-approved agreement covering parenting orders (child custody) and property division. They provide certainty without a full hearing, helping couples navigate complex issues with minimal emotional difficulty.

What is a financial agreement?

Financial agreements (also known as prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and family law financial agreements) are legally binding contracts that outline asset division, spousal maintenance, or other financial matters before, during, or after a marriage or de facto relationship. Our legal team ensures your agreement reflects your specific circumstances and long-term goals.

How can we ensure agreements are enforceable?

Agreements can be formalised by way of court orders or binding agreements, and must comply with family law requirements. Consent orders and binding financial agreements both provide certainty, protect your legal rights, and are enforceable after both parties sign them.
